Article Synopsis
- The study explores how obesity during adolescence affects breast development and cancer risk, focusing on the molecular level in breast tissue of young women undergoing surgery.*
-
- Using RNA sequencing on 62 breast tissue samples, the researchers found significant differences in gene expression between overweight/obese and non-overweight/non-obese groups, indicating increased inflammation in obese participants.*
-
- The findings suggest that while there’s a strong overlap in the gene expression of adolescent and adult women, obesity seems to alter specific inflammatory pathways that could impact breast cancer risk later in life.*
